LangApp: Effortless Flashcards from Real-World Language

Overview

LangApp is a powerful command-line tool that automates flashcard creation for language learners. Feed it foreign-language text, and it will extract unknown words and pair them with precise definitions—ready for Anki import. Perfect for learners who want to grow their vocabulary from authentic sources.

How It Works

LangApp is built with robust Go code and follows a straightforward workflow:

1. Parse a Dictionary
   Import a large multilingual JSONL dictionary (e.g., from kaikki.org) and build a local, persistent word-meaning database.

2. Generate Flashcards
   Provide any text—LangApp identifies unfamiliar words, finds their definitions, and outputs Anki-compatible cards in cards.txt.

3. Optimized Performance

   • Efficient, multi-threaded parsing (-t 10).
   • CLI flags for control and feedback (-p true for progress).
   • All data is stored locally for speed and offline access.

Example Workflow

1. Parse a Dictionary:

go run cmd/parser/main.go -db ./assets/meaning/ -dict ./assets/kaikki.org-dictionary-English.jsonl -t 10 -p true
